For me it was my first acquaintance with Georgia and my first trip to the mountains. Experienced people will say that it is not a height. But everyone has their own way and their own peaks. Perhaps this is the first step to my cherished mountain. And this path was a pleasure to walk with our fun group and wonderful guide. And believe me, such laughter has not yet heard these mountains, fields and villages. Such hikes bring together very different people, from different countries and sometimes from different worlds. Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Israel, Ireland, Latvia, Estonia. We had one goal, to pass this way and to know ourselves.
We were lucky, we walked along mountain trails along cold mountain rivers, through fields with colorful flowers, through forests that keep cool. We saw with our own eyes the power of glaciers, the strength of mountain rivers and the indescribable beauty of snow-covered mountain peaks that mesmerize and beckon.
The beauty of these places will remain in your memory for a long time. It was unforgettable, when waking up in the early morning, in your window you see a snowy peak in the rays of the rising sun. This is the moment of happiness and peace, which is so sometimes lacking in our crazy world, with its hustle and bustle and speed of life.
The simplicity of everyday life in rural villages was always compensated by the cordiality, hospitality and smiles of people who met on our way. The rousing Georgian songs of our driver I will never forget. And it is impossible to describe how the table was sometimes bursting with Georgian dishes prepared for us with love. It was amazingly delicious.
This is exactly the kind of hike if you've always wanted to, but were afraid to go to the mountains. I did it!
I am grateful to fate, for meeting new and interesting people. Thanks to everyone who passed this way with me. And thanks to Anna for leading us along this route, for being our guiding star. Thanks to you, I discovered Georgia and fell in love with it. And I think we will meet again!!!
Thank you!!!
